Threat/uhkkádus
In early May 1986, Jarl and his crew traveled to Lapland to scout locations for Good People, his fiction debut.
Following on the heels of th Chernobyl disaster, Jarl temporarily abandoned his fictional film in favor of filming the effects of the radioactive fallout on the Lapp people. The original title, Uhkkáus, in Lapp means "encroachment" rather than "threat" and refers more to the violation of the Lapp attitude toward life than to the poisoning of their pastures and water. Threat/Uhkkádus was the last film to show Lapps who lived traditionally. The Lapp chronology is now thought of in terms of before and after Chernobyl.
